Indeed, after hearing Pei Xuanjing's voice, the avatar of Witch God Sect Leader no longer focused his attention on Wu Shijiu. Instead, he turned to address Pei Xuanjing, who'd appeared in the courtyard, saying, "How could I refuse an invitation from the Royal Advisor."
For the Witch God Sect Leader, Wu Shijiu wasn't worth consideration. If he'd really wanted to pick a fight, Wu Shijiu wouldn't have had the chance to escape from Witch Deity Teaching in the first place.
Since he didn't make a move back then, facing Wu Shijiu today, he naturally wouldn't make a move either, especially in front of Pei Xuanjing.
He knew why he was here today. Thus, he had just been teasing Wu Shijiu earlier, making him realize that he was not untouchable to the Witch Deity Teaching.
Now that Pei Xuanjing had come out, he naturally stopped there, greeting Pei Xuanjing with a smile instead.
"Please," Pei Xuanjing gestured.
